Another version of BigDog. Still pretty cool. And pretty fast!

geez couldn't they find something other then a leaf blower to power it?

makes so much noise its pointless for any practical use you could think for it

It's still under development. Get the movement right first, then worry about alternate power sources.

When the time has come I'm sure they will move to electric motors and nuke batteries.

For experimenting with the basic design issues of running, walking and being stable, "leaf blowers" probably are the easiest solution

well at least they solved the hacking up hairballs issue
